SEGMENTATION OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS IN PC MICROSCOPY 1 Segmentation of Individual Cells in Phase Contrast Microscopy Images
Phase contrast microscopy is widely used for live cell imaging. Automatic computer processing of phase-contrast images is complicated, particularly because of the halos that are present around the cells. We introduce a new algorithm able to segment individual cells by using the halos. The halos between cells are detected by thresholding and skeletonization, and gaps in the edges are filled in u...
متن کاملCell segmentation in phase contrast microscopy images via semi-supervised classification over optics-related features
Phase-contrast microscopy is one of the most common and convenient imaging modalities to observe long-term multi-cellular processes, which generates images by the interference of lights passing through transparent specimens and background medium with different retarded phases. Despite many years of study, computer-aided phase contrast microscopy analysis on cell behavior is challenged by image ...
متن کاملImage Analysis for Calculation of the Toxicity Degree of Cells in Phase Contrast Microscopy Images
Abstract: Because of the very special type of contrast in phase-contrast images, it is almost impossible to perform fully automated single-cell analysis and quantification successfully. Because fluorescent dyes are highly toxic, phase-contrast images are commonly used to monitor live cells. In this paper, we present a method for the fully automated segmentation, classification and quantificatio...
متن کاملUnderstanding the phase contrast optics to restore artifact-free microscopy images for segmentation
Phase contrast, a noninvasive microscopy imaging technique, is widely used to capture time-lapse images to monitor the behavior of transparent cells without staining or altering them. Due to the optical principle, phase contrast microscopy images contain artifacts such as the halo and shade-off that hinder image segmentation, a critical step in automated microscopy image analysis. Rather than t...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Optics to Aid Microscopy Image Segmentation
Image segmentation is essential for many automated microscopy image analysis systems. Rather than treating microscopy images as general natural images and rushing into the image processing warehouse for solutions, we propose to study a microscope's optical properties to model its image formation process first using phase contrast microscopy as an exemplar. It turns out that the phase contrast i...
متن کاملCell Segmentation for Division Rate Estimation in Computerized Video Time-Lapse Microscopy
Abstract The automated estimation of cell division rate plays an important role in the evaluation of a gene function in high throughput biomedical research. Automatic segmentation and cell counting of phase contrast images, which are widely used in cell cultures when colorless cell specimen was observed with high magnifications, is a challengeable task because of low contrast boundary on membra...
